Fergus is drowning! His son Alfie is a nightmare, and there is also a child crying all the time somewhere in the building where he lives. He begins to wish he had never agreed to leave his career as a lawyer in London to move to Stockholm with his successful wife, Tess. Fergus starts trying to find this crying baby, to see what he's crying about and if he can help him, or at least offer some parental sympathy, but literally every door in the building slams in his face. On top of all this, his son Alfie seems to have returned to the "baby talk" stage and started talking to himself in incomprehensible words all day long. But the fact that they meet a neighbour will change a lot of things.
